To escape from the usual retro and jump blues routine, producer Richard Duran chose material from different musical sources.
'40s r&b, downhome blues from the south, mostly obscure but GREAT stuff.

Slim is a fine singer and Junior one of the very best (listen to his deep-toned full sounds substituting horns!).

Super recording made by Jerry Hall in L.A.
Extremely entertaining.

Given the pedigree of the assembled line-up, you cannot fail to enjoy this album. (…) All of the above, coupled with a good choice of seldom covered material make for a consistent album that fans of the genre can savely purchase.

This entire album is mainly a delightful, gentle blend of jump-based R&B songs with a few tender blues. (…) This all combines to make a most enjoyable CD.

Given the pedigree of the assembled line-Up, you cannot fall to enjoy this album. You are treated to some excellent guitar from both Watson and Holmstrom, a good vocal delivery, if slightly strained on the occasional high note, from Lynwood Slim, Kaplan's exemplary keyboard work and a rock steady rhythm section. All of the above, coupled with a good choice od seldom covered material make for a consistent album that fans of the genre can safely purchase.

The ultimate West Coast jumpin' blues artists are assembled here. The musical juice carries a rockin' '50s slant. This becomes a swingin' blues hoot … Catch a jazzy ,swingin' jump blues sound on this disc. Great studio material that is the epitome of the West Coast jump scene!
